Help with using I and you correctly

[Guest guest]

My son uses the word " you " to refer to himself. Although we know the

source of the reason why this came to be, we are having such a hrad

time correcting it. He says things such as " You don't want to have

cereal for breaksfast " in a tone as if he is saying it to himself.

He does this wuite frequently. It is usually when he is saying he

doesn't want to do something and it is generally when he is trying to

be funny as in " You don't want to color the boy's face blue! " But he

does do it at other times too. If we ask, " What did you ride on at

the amusement park? " He will begin with " You went on.. " and we

immediately correct and say " I " so that he starts over correctly.

When we can get to it, we prompt before his answer, but this isn't

always possible depending on the social situation. Does any one have

suggestions for directly teaching him how to use " you " and " I "

correctly across the board?
